Water Engineering and Environmental Processes Laboratory
About the lab
The Water Engineering and Environmental Processes Laboratory (LGEPE) draws on the expertise of nine ÉTS faculty members, one research associate and more than 60 graduate students.
The lab’s research mission includes reducing the environmental impact of human activities on natural waters, drinking water sources, soil and air. Research results are obtained in collaboration with various Canadian industry partners and municipalities, as well as Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) and Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation (MAPAQ).
The lab and its members are helping position ÉTS as a world leader in water management and treatment, water resource protection, sustainable materials and environmental processes.
